My name is Kayla Carlile and I am a University of Oregon alumna. My son Landon is my inspiration for everything that I do; He is now seven years old and just graduated first grade.  I discovered that I was pregnant when I was fifteen years old. Being a teen mom did not deter me from pursuing my education or my dreams, but provided me with motivation and inspiration to be successful. With immense support from family, friends, and a generous scholarship from The Ford Family Foundation, I was able to complete high school and obtain my Bachelor Degree while still fulfilling my motherly duties and pursuing my dreams. Thank you for visiting my website and supporting me in this pursuit. Enjoy my art!
